This presentation will identify industry (employer) needs of today’s graduates and how we as educators can better prepare our students for the workforce and lifelong learning.
Applying heutagogy in online education: Designing for self-determined learningLisa Marie Blaschke
Heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, has been gaining interest within the field of education as a learner-centered theory that can help nurture lifelong learning skills and develop learners who are able to quickly adapt to rapidly changing and complex workplace environments. Built on foundational educational theories such as humanism, constructivism, reflective practice, double-loop learning, transformative learning, capability, and self-efficacy, heutagogy can be viewed as an extension of andragogy as part of a pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum. The theory’s key principles include human agency (learner-centeredness), capability, self-reflection and metacognition (double-loop learning or learning to learn), and nonlinear teaching and learning, and when combined with today’s technology, heutagogy offers a holistic framework for teaching and learning that supports development of self-determined, autonomous learners and provides a basis for creating comprehensive, learner-centered education environments. The theory of heutagogy also aligns closely with the goals of online education due to its promotion of learner agency and autonomy, openness, social justice, and democratization of education. This presentation will introduce conference delegates to the theory of heutagogy, its key principles, elements, and theoretical basis, as well as provide examples of how heutagogy can be applied in online education environments to support the development of students’ self-determined and lifelong learning skills. The session will also provide guidance for instructors who want to design for heutagogy in the classroom and offer examples for integrating technological tools and social media such as Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn groups, and Google Docs, that can be used to support self-determined and lifelong learning skills.
Even before Covid-19, higher education was facing a perfect storm of challenges: increased costs, reduced funding, and rising industry demand for more skilled graduates. Educators were also challenged with finding ways to better prepare students for an uncertain future where lifelong learning skills are essential. The current pandemic has only served to intensify the storm, and educational institutions have rushed to technology in order to survive. In response to the new — or next — normal, institutional leaders are attempting to adapt traditional curriculum and systems so that they can transition rapidly to remote teaching and learning. Online, hybrid, and hyflex learning have become the beguiling buzzword solutions of today. How to survive this perfect storm and the storms to come? This presentation will propose that it is not technology that will best address these challenges; instead, a fundamental rethinking of how we teach and learn is necessary. By adopting heutagogy — or a pedagogy of agency, where the learner takes control of learning — will we be able to agilely transition and pivot across delivery methods, while also equipping our students with the lifelong learning skills and competencies required for the future.

Today's employees must readily adapt to quickly changing and complex work environments, and employers are looking to educational institutions to produce employment-ready students who will hit the ground running. Learning to learn has become an overarching theme, and as a result, interest in the theory of heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, is on the rise. This webinar would provide an overview of the theory as well as research- and practice-based examples of how we can help guide our students along the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum to become more self-determined learners.
Heutagogy: Changing the Playing Field (ICDE Pre-Conference Workshop)Lisa Marie Blaschke
Pre-Conference Workshop at the ICDE 2015 World Conference. How will heutagogy change the playing field? An introduction to heutagogy -- the study of self-determined learning -- and an exploration of the potential impact this learning and teaching approach has to influence our education systems.
The presentation addresses the topic of pedagogy, and specifically, learner-centered education and the quality issues that surround and emerge as institutions transition to learner-centered education. The presentation also draws on the experiences we have had in our international master’s program in moving toward more competency-based education (a program offered together with the University of Maryland University College in the U.S.), identifying key quality issues and how these have been addressed. In addition, the presentation describes the trends — technologies (and delivery frameworks), pedagogies, political, social — that are working together to drive institutions toward more learner-centered education, as well as the opportunity e-learning institutions and organizations such as EDEN have to influence and lead this movement.

This document summarizes a presentation on using social media and heutagogy (self-determined learning) to support the development of lifelong learning skills. The presentation discusses:
1) How heutagogy and social media can help develop skills needed in the workplace like collaboration, critical thinking, and adaptability.
2) Examples of how social media tools like wikis, Google Docs, and Twitter have been used in university courses to develop skills in a self-determined way.
3) The benefits of heutagogy include improved critical thinking, engagement, control over learning, and ability to apply knowledge, all of which are important for lifelong learning.
The document discusses heutagogy and the craft of teaching. It defines heutagogy as learner-led education where learners determine their own learning needs and paths. It presents teaching as brokering, where teachers facilitate learner interests and collaborative learning. It also discusses using technology to support new skills like searching, evaluating, and guiding learners. The document proposes a model of learner-generated contexts where learners' motivations lead to agile configurations of learning through open contexts and communities of practice.

Social media has become more ubiquitous within higher education and can play an important role in helping students become more self-determined in their learning and in building and sustaining a personal learning network (PLN) throughout their studies and beyond. This lecture will provide a framework for defining and choosing social media for use in the classroom, based on using a heutagogical (self-determined learning) approach to course design. The lecture will also demo a variety of ways for incorporating social media such as Twitter, e-portfolios, mind-mapping, GoogleDocs, and Diigo within the classroom.
Sustaining lifelong learning: A review of heutagogical practiceLisa Marie Blaschke
This document discusses heutagogy, a learner-centered approach to education. [1] Heutagogy focuses on developing learner self-determination and capabilities through double-loop learning. [2] Web 2.0 technologies like wikis, blogs, and social media can enable heutagogical practice by facilitating connectivity, information sharing, and self-determined learning. [3] Examples of heutagogical practices discussed include virtual learning environments, reflective learning journals, and using tools like Google Maps and mind maps.

Using Social Media in the Online Classroom to Help Develop Self-Determined Le...Lisa Marie Blaschke
This document discusses using social media to support heutagogy, or self-determined learning, in online classrooms. It describes how social media like Twitter, mind maps, and Google Docs can help develop skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. An study in an online master's course found that tools encouraging more cognitive engagement, like e-portfolios and mind maps, best supported skill development and workplace relevance. Social media increased students' familiarity with online tools and improved research skills. The most effective tools were Google Docs, blogs, Twitter, mind maps, and wikis. The document concludes with information on a heutagogy community of practice and references.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey of 700 practitioners at 16 further education colleges about their use of technology. Key findings include:
1) Practitioners are natural explorers of technology and describe its impact in terms of teaching and learning rather than just the technologies themselves.
2) Over 90% see the learning platform Moodle as normal practice in their work.
3) Practitioners develop technology skills through personal exploration and insight rather than formal training, resulting in a diverse range of experiences and approaches.
4) Professional development should focus on pedagogy over technology and support the "reflective practitioner" that emerges when digital natives become professionals.
Heutagogy is a learner-centered approach where learners determine their own learning needs, processes, and desired outcomes. It is influenced by humanism, constructivism, neuroscience, and complexity theory. Traditional educational systems are based on models from the industrial revolution and do not reflect how the brain works. Evidence shows learning is enhanced through effort, multi-sensory experiences, curiosity, emotion, resolving incongruity, and brain plasticity. Heutagogy involves deep learner engagement, flexible curricula, learner-generated contexts, negotiated assessment, and coaching models. It applies to online learning and allows for self-directed, reflective learning throughout life.

This Is My Brain on Co-creating Open Metaphors
The document describes the Ecology of Resources (EoR) framework, which was developed to model contextual learning. It discusses applying the EoR framework to a study examining how teenagers conceptualize their energy use through interviews and a photo diary study. The EoR framework involves 3 phases: 1) creating a model of learning resources by categorizing elements from the study data, 2) identifying relationships between resources, and 3) developing scaffolds to support identified learning relationships.
The document discusses the Emergent Learning Model (ELM), which aims to apply Web 2.0 participatory tools to learning. ELM views learning as self-developed and self-managed within both formal and informal contexts. ELM can be used as a development framework to design new educational practices and learning ecosystems in a world of online resource abundance. While ELM allows integration of informal and formal learning, implementation challenges often emerge that require further refinement of techniques and processes.

Learning for Life: Preparing Learners for the Complexities of the Workplace T...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Today s learners need to be well-prepared for the complex demands of ever-fluctuating, international business environments. To help students contend with this rapid pace of change, our institutions of higher education need to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure their success. But how to achieve this when what we teach learners today can easily change and even be irrelevant tomorrow? Heutagogy provides meaningful, pedagogical guidance for navigating a shifting higher education landscape, as well as a rapidly evolving technological one. This keynote will discuss the barriers that have kept us from implementing heutagogy within higher education in the past and the more recent developments that are causing those barriers to slowly begin slipping away. We will also consider why it is necessary for higher education to adopt forms heutagogical practice in order to prepare students for lifelong learning and the web 2.0 and social media that help us do just that.

A Proposed PST Model for Enhancing E-Learning ExperiencesMd. Shohel Rana
Md. Shohel Rana presented a proposed PST (Parents-Student-Teacher) model for enhancing e-learning experiences at the 2017 International Conference on Education and Distance Learning in Maldives. The model aims to allow teachers, students, and parents to collaborate on a single online platform from remote locations. It incorporates features like online lesson sharing, communication tools, assessment tools, and a smart board for interactive lessons. Diagrams show how the data and collaboration would flow within the proposed model. The presentation concluded by stating that the model could improve classroom efficiency and communication between all parties involved in education.
Learn Now is proposing to offer online learning courses using the Moodle learning management system. Moodle allows for a constructivist approach and social collaboration between students. It has many beneficial tools and is free and open source. Several institutions have switched from Blackboard to Moodle due to cost and functionality. While Moodle has some disadvantages compared to Blackboard, investing in Learn Now could help many learners by increasing access to education and allowing them to learn flexibly.

Usability of BLESS-implemented class room: a case study of mixtioTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Conventional learning system and e-learning have their own strengths and weaknesses. To combine both systems, blended learning is created. In Extention Program of Informatics Engineering Faculty at XYZ university most of the students already have jobs. As much 47.5 % of students who take this program have a job in daily office hours. Then, to facilitate the learning process the XYZ university develop learning management system (LMS) by Moodle. XYZ university want to make a learning process with blended learning concept. However, the Moodle sytem has limited function to adapt the blended learning system (BLS). In the aim to improve the class usability in BLS, then this study proposes to apply to Blended Learning System Structure (BLESS) into LMS design. BLESS is offered as a framework which matches to learning and uses a top-down approach. Then, the system design maed it “Mixtio”. At the end of this study, it can be seen the analysis result of the use of BLESS can improve system usability of LMS.

This document provides an overview of emerging models of connected professional development for teachers in higher education. It discusses moving away from isolated professional development within institutions to more opened-up and connected models that involve collaboration across institutions. Examples are provided of open professional development opportunities and a "snowballing model" is proposed for scalable open cross-institutional professional development. The model progresses from initial individual collaborations to strengthened institutional collaboration with defined partners and facilitators.
Emerging models of connected professional development with chrissi nerantziSue Beckingham
Learning happens everywhere and all the time. It always did. It was and still is free-range and open. It is owned by the individual. Is education, particularly higher education, now moving into this direction too?
Spotting and seizing opportunities around us to learn, feeds our curiosity and gives our minds wings to explore, engage and experiment, create and grow. Today 'around us' has perhaps a different meaning for those who have access to the Internet and the distributed digital technologies. The affordances of digital tools and social media, transform us into connected active participants and imaginative creators. 'Around us' has gained a pan-geographical dimension and stretches across the globe, across societies and communities, across cultures. This new state of distributed togetherness creates new, exciting and often transformative learning and development opportunities we never had before.

Project-based multimedia learning is an instructional strategy that combines project-based learning and multimedia. It involves students acquiring new knowledge and skills by designing, planning, and producing a multimedia product. This strategy allows students to learn core curriculum while developing real-world skills like planning, collaboration, and presenting information compellingly. It also builds students' hard skills in areas like math and problem-solving, as well as their soft skills and ability to use technology for tasks like creating multimedia presentations.
This document discusses blended learning and its advantages and disadvantages in language education. It defines blended learning as combining face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning, allowing students some control over the time, place, path, or pace of their studies. The document outlines several advantages of blended learning, including improved learning outcomes, personalized instruction, and lower costs. It also notes some potential disadvantages, such as technical issues, lack of student IT literacy, and more time required for feedback.
Realizing the potential of online and blended professional development Barbara Treacy
This document discusses the potential benefits and challenges of online and blended professional development (PD) for teachers. It outlines principles of effective PD, such as being focused on student learning and addressing specific curricular content. Online and blended PD can provide flexibility, access to experts, opportunities for reflection and collaboration, and tools to personalize and extend learning over time. However, developing high-quality online content and facilitation requires training, resources, and technical infrastructure. Effective online PD designs incorporate goals, personalization, differentiation, and facilitation techniques to foster participation and keep discussions on topic.
The proposal suggests piloting an eLearning program at RHR Elementary School to provide additional technology training and professional development for teachers. It would utilize a blended learning model, with self-paced online courses and modules as well as some face-to-face sessions. The goals are to improve teachers' technology skills, increase integration of tools like web 2.0 in instruction, and provide flexible just-in-time training. A core team of teachers would develop the initial content. The program would use free and existing resources, with costs mainly for substitutes during planning and some equipment. Overall it aims to close technology gaps and increase opportunities for professional growth.

Developing digital language skills: A MOOC on Personal Language Learning Envi...Angelos Konstantinidis
The document describes a MOOC designed to help language learners become autonomous and self-manage their language learning using digital tools. The MOOC was developed using the ADDIE model of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. It consisted of 4 weeks of content on using different digital tools to enhance language skills. Research was conducted to study how learners' use of tools changed and the relationship between language barriers and online tool use. The MOOC was pre-piloted with 35 participants and adjustments will be made based on evaluation before a full pilot. The goal is to not just provide open resources but help learners optimize their use.
Similar a Meeting Employer Needs Through Continuous Professional Development: From Theory to Practice (20)
In response to the global pandemic, institutions everywhere swiftly pivoted to online learning in an attempt to help salvage and preserve education. During this abrupt shift to emergency remote teaching, students were neither prepared for learning remotely nor were they equipped with the kind of autonomy and agency needed for online learning. As a return to traditional classroom teaching is unforeseeable in the near future, it is crucial that we continue to improve upon our teaching and learning practices within online environments. This session will argue that we can view the current situation through a different prism: as a unique opportunity in which our students can be become agents of their learning and be enabled to take more control of their learning paths. The session will focus on the opportunities of online learning, specifically the teaching and learning approaches that can be used to engage students and to nurture their self-directed and self-determined learning skills in order to become better prepared for lifelong learning.

Examples and resources will also be shared, and ample time will be given for answering your questions about online teaching and learning.
Preparing Leaders, Managers, and Instructors for Realizing TEL in Their Organ...Lisa Marie Blaschke
As more institutions grapple with incorporating technologies into the classroom — either in blended or purely online formats — there is an ongoing need for educational programmes that provide decision-makers with the necessary skills and competencies for navigating these often new spaces. Such spaces must be manoeuvred with care and with a holistic and contextual approach, as any adoption of technology requires transformation across the organisation, from education design and delivery to administrative tasks and service and support offerings. In addition, critical success factors must be considered, such as the implementational approach used and the roles of leadership, management, and faculty. The University of South Africa (Unisa) is a remarkable example of a leading higher education institution currently in the midst of this transformation.
To support institutions such as Unisa, the University of Oldenburg offers a certificate programme that is designed to equip managers, leaders, and educators with the theory and practice necessary for integrating technology enhanced learning (TEL) within their education environments. This Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Online Teaching and Learning (OTL) focuses on the various aspects of realizing TEL in organisations, from understanding the basic principles and theories of TEL to the design of instructional environments and learner support.
This session would examine the ongoing partnership between Unisa and the University of Oldenburg in delivering the OTL certificate programme for educators and managers, as well as discuss the business model, programme content, student experiences, and foreseeable applications.
Opening Up Europe: Strategy and the Added Value of CollaborationLisa Marie Blaschke
This document discusses potential collaborations between the Open Education Consortium (OEC) and the European Distance and E-Learning Network (EDEN) to promote openness in education. It outlines their shared missions of expanding access to education and notes that open universities have been slow to adopt open educational resources (OERs) and massive open online courses (MOOCs). Through partnerships, OEC and EDEN could connect institutions, share best practices on models and strategies for openness, and maximize the impact of their networks and alliances to help "open up Europe".
Self-determined learning: Creating personal learning environments for lifelon...Lisa Marie Blaschke
We live in a networked world that gives us a multitude of opportunities for creating, connecting, collaborating, and networking, allowing us to build multi-faceted learning environments of exploration and inquiry. Self-determined learning, or heutagogy, is one pedagogical approach that be can applied for taking advantage of these opportunities across all levels of schooling – starting from pre-school and kindergarten to post-secondary education and lifelong learning. Combined with technology, self-determined learning becomes a powerful means of creating personal learning environments that support lifelong learning. During this session, we will look at ways in which a self-determined learning approach has been applied across all learning communities and discuss how the approach can be used in practice, from the early years through formal education to lifelong learning.
This document summarizes the closing remarks from a conference on student-centered learning. It discusses the roles of learners, instructors, pedagogies, technology, and institutions in student-centered learning. Learners are in the driver's seat but receive guidance from instructors. Pedagogies define how learners progress while technology powers the learning process. Institutions provide the infrastructure and resources to support student-centered learning. The document highlights quotes from several conference speakers about topics like the role of students, digital tools, and challenges in implementing student-centered models.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Notas del editor
In addition, technologies (and delivery frameworks), pedagogies, political, social —are working together to drive institutions toward more learner-centered education. Trends: Driving us toward more learner-centered education environments, but also supporting us in realizing these environments. One educational theory that can be applied is that of heutagogy or the study of self-determined learning which is built around the principles of learner agency, capability, self-efficacy, reflection/metacognition, and non-linear design – a theory that has been shown to support development of the attributes needed by today’s employers.
A solution using heutagogy is not only a pedagogical one, but is an inter-connected system; pedagogy is key, but other aspects are as well — all have a role.
Within this system: Learners are Self-directed, self-regulated, self-organized, autonomous, capable, empowered; Teachers are „aces in the digital space“ guiding the learning and exhibiting flexibility and empathy and desire to empower (not control) students; working together with the workforce and society, institutions provides a network of support of learning for students and teachers, one that characterized by a shared vision, innovative leadership, and transformation-readiness.
Description: C3L offers a prior assessment and recognition (PLAR) program that allows students to demonstrate acquired competencies and receive credit toward continuing education within a C3L program. The program has been in existence for over 10 years and has served as a PLAR model for institutions throughout Germany. The model offers two paths for calculating prior learning: prior education and work experience/professional development. Over the prior education path, either a fixed or individual calculation of prior learning can be calculated. For fixed calculations (lump sum allocation), students can receive for up to 30 credit points (CP) for completed university studies and up to 12 CP for college (Fachhochschule) studies. This can also be calculated individually by matching completed coursework with a same or similar C3L course module for up to 60 CP. Students can also receive credit by demonstrating competencies acquired through work experience and professional development while in the workforce, based on their job descriptions and activities, performance reviews, and training certificates.
How does this solution meet employer needs?
Students:
Demonstrate acuired competences and do not need to retake courses for which they already have prior knowledge/education
Receive credit for prior knowledge, work experience, training, and education
Can further their education building on previous knowledge
Benefit from curriculum flexibilty and can more quickly advance toward formal higher education certification and degrees (shortens study times)
Description: In this blended learning environment in C3L courses, students first engage in and discuss the curriculum. At a face-to-face workshop, they then identify themes related to the course topics that they are interested in researching/studying further. The project component of the course is then developed and during the remainder of the course they work in small groups (3-5 students) and conduct research on a topic they are interesed in.
How does this solution meet employer needs?
Students:
Gain real world experience and knowledge conducting action research in the field
Learn how to work together to manage projects
Establish contacts that further build their professional network
Can work flexibly online and at a distance
Explore and think critically about current, real world challenges
Description: The e-portfolio is an online space that can be used to document learner competencies, learning paths, and learning reflections with the goal of documenting the student‘s learning by providing evidence of his or her knowledge, competencies, and skills. The e-portfolio serves as a living document, providing a shared virtual space for studentsto gather, organize and present their competencies through artifacts and work samples such as model assignments that showcase the many competencies that they have developed during their studies. This online presence can then be further expanded upon to incorporate various social media tools that then serve to create a learner‘s own personal learning environment or PLE, that support lifelong learning.
How does this solution meet employer needs?
Students:
Develop and demonstrate competencies
Learn to evaluate information crtically
Create a bridge to the outside professional world
Build networks of professional connections
Gather and save information leading to lifelong learning
Explore opportunities for collaboration
